Questions
What is the percentage uvb this bulb gives off? Also what is the estimated drop in efficiency by mounting on a screen and does the included clear plastic bulb cover affect this?
- Hi there! We don't provide percentages. The clear lens is UV admitting and blocks less than 10 percent. It does increase the blocking with age, though. The amount blocked by a screen will vary with the density of the screen. Generally, it is 10-30 percent depending on the size of the mesh (smaller mesh blocks more). If you'd like to chat about this further, feel welcome to give us a call at 1-888-255-4527.

Would this work for leopard geckos?
- leopard geckos don’t necessarily need uvb, but as always there are certain benefits to having a uvb on them. in my opinion this is the best uvb bulb to purchase! hope this helps!

Would this work for a Chinese Water Dragon, they need UVB and UVA?
- This would be great for a Chinese Water Dragon!

- You should use the Zilla Tropical 25 UVB Fluorescent T8 Bulb, ideally in a Zilla Slimline Tropical 25 UVB T8 Fluorescent Fixture.

How long should this bulb last? Mine just burnt out.

Does this bulb provide heat? If so, how much?
- No, this would be strictly a UVB lamp for tropical reptiles. You would need a separate lamp or device for heating.

i need a bulb that dose uvb and uva
- Thank you for your question animalhouse1. For a long tailed grass lizard I would recommend the Tropical 25. This light provides a full dosage of UVB (25 microwatts per second/cm2) along with essential UVA light. As a bonus, Tropical 25’s full-spectrum visible light output helps bring out subtle colors in a reptile’s skin that makes everyday viewing more dramatic.

I have a 30" Zoo Med Slider Reptile Hood, but the florescent bulb is 24".
- Thank you for your question. You would need to get a bulb that would be the same bulb size as what you currently have. If you are looking for a replacement bulb to replace the 24" size bulb you have, we would recommend that you use another 24" size bulb. tmb

wht kind of uv do i need for a 20 gallons tank?
- Thank you for your question canelita. Most likely you would want the Tropical 25, but it would depend on the type of turtle your neighbor gave to you. Red-Eared Sliders, Red Foot Tortoises and Eastern Box Turtles all require Tropical 25. Sulcata Tortoises, Leopard Tortoises and Russian Tortoises all require Desert 50.

I have the Zilla fixture with the built in timer. The flourescent bulb is 27" and the fixture is 30". I ordered the 24" ones and they were too small.
- Thank you for your question. Our item #33205 30” 18W T5 should work for this fixture. Here's a link to the page: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=18318

i have a adult and baby bearded dragon i. seperate tanks one tank is probably like a 40g and the other one is pretty big not sure of gallon size. what uvb light is best for them. and could it wait a couple weeks until i get paid or is it crucial today
Hi there. So I am looking into getting a heat dome for my crested gecko. I know they don’t have to have a heat lam but I want him to have a UVB bulb Because it’s good for them. But I am not quite sure that type to get. Any suggestions? I was looking at petco’s tropical combo pack. He lives in a 10 g. With live plant. (I will upgrade when he is bigger) also do you know an age on him? I got him 3 months ago from petsmart. I could tell he was a male a week after I got him. (Pic from yesterday)
Since full spectrum growl lights for plants are supposed to mimic natural sunlight (is that correct?) then can I use that for my green anole lizard glass cage and save all that cost for a uvb light? I also have a heating pad for my back I could put under it if need be...?
What is wrong?What do I do? It’s not soft it’s very hard and he has a heat lamp and uvb. Thx
My red eared slider is not basking even though I brought a uvb light for her just like one of the pet coach vets told me because he has soft shell.I place the light on top of a Zilla screen cover but she still don't get on.I can't really dry dock her because I have a hood for my uvb light.How can I make her to bask and is the Zilla cover okay for her?
I am about to get a crested gecko and have done lots of research, but am nervous I'll kill my crestie. You see, lots of people have different opinions about additional lighting. 1 breeder said a heat lamp killed many of his crested geckos, while another breeder said it killed her geckos when they DIDNT have a heat lamp. Should I get a heat lamp? (My tank is a 12 by 12 by 18, of that helps at all) Also, should that size tank be good for 1 crested gecko for his entire life?
Fancy leopard geckos need light. If I keep the red light on 24/7 as directed by, what should the temperature be?
What is the best way to heat hedgehog cage with lamp?
How much pellets and green leaf lettuce should I feed my red eared slider with pyramiding and a soft shell?How often?Once a day? Once two days?Also if I was to get a ceramic dome for heat what kind of bulb should I buy?
hi I bought the imagitarium fresh water uv purified water for my betta,s. Is this good water for them and does it have the nutrients they need? thank you
How should you care for your reptile during a power outage?
I am not sure of my turtles age. I have had her for 3 yrs. Dosen't seem to be growing and I'm concerned about the underneath shell. Looks like it is splitting. She is in a 10 gal tank always by the window for sun. Is the tank to small? She eats well, super worms, tomatoes, grapes and strawberries some lettuce.
